Hang Me From The Moon by Atlantica - Zona

Hang Me From The Moon by Atlantica - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro – soft piano, breathy R&B cadence]

I feel the tide inside me pulling

Silver light on my skin, unfolding

Every lie that I told myself

Tastes sweet now… and burns like hell

The night is heavy on my shoulders

Your name’s a weight that pulls me closer

And I keep reaching past the truth

Just tie my heart up to the moon…

⸻

[Verse 1 – gentle piano, intimate vocal glides]

I was born with reckless hunger

Touch of fire, voice like thunder

Every dream I fed to fate

Grew teeth… and learned to take

You said slow down, love, you’re drowning

But I flew higher off your sounding

Your gravity became my doom

Still I’m begging you… hang me from the moon

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – rising chords, falsetto R&B tilt]

’Cause I don’t learn

Till I get burned

And even then, I still return

To every truth I can’t deny…

I’m scared to fall but crave the climb

⸻

[Chorus – fuller piano, no drums]

So hang me from the moon tonight

Let my overzealous heart ignite

If I come crashing, let me bloom

Like Icarus reborn in doom

I flew too high for anyone

But I won’t turn back, I already begun

So tie me to that silver noose

And hang me from the moon

⸻

[Verse 2 – darker piano voicings, smooth R&B rhythm]

You warned me that ambition cuts

Sharp enough to drain my blood

But I keep smiling through the wounds

Like pain’s a blessing I consume

I’ve loved too hard, I’ve loved too far

My arrogance became my star

A beacon shining, loud and crude

Still calling out: hang me from the moon

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – more tension, slight harmony]

’Cause I don’t stop

Till something drops

My confidence becomes my rot

And even if the end is soon

I’ll chase the sky, I’ll chase the moon

⸻

[Chorus – heavier piano, heartbeat-like sub-bass]

So hang me from the moon tonight

Let my overconfident soul take flight

If I get broken, let me bloom

Like shattered light inside a tomb

I flew too far for anyone

But I won’t turn back, I already begun

So tie me to that silver noose

And hang me from the moon

⸻

[Interlude – soft piano arpeggios, whispered melody]

[Whispered]

High above the clouds…

No gods, no ground…

Just one last vow…

I won’t climb down

⸻

[Breakdown – huge djent drop, distorted bass, choral pads, screamed harmonies]

[Screamed / harmonized]

I flew too close—

Too close to you

Too drunk on light—

Too blind to truth

My wings in bloom—

Begin to bruise

But I still beg you—

Hang me from the moon

[Heavier]

Tear me open

Let the night come through

If I’m chosen

Let me fall for you

[Final hit]

HANG! ME! FROM! THE! MOOOOOOON!

[drop-tuned bass interlude]

⸻

[Outro – piano only, breathing slows]

If I fall… let it be for you

If I rise… let it be toward you

And if I break… let it be soon

’Cause I was made

To hang beneath the moon
